Note: In the event of modifying the already associated spare part number, the system displays an error message. Also, to delete existing spare part details check the box in the “Select” column of the multiline and click the "Delete" pushbutton.
The system displays the following field on clicking the “Edit Spare Parts List” pushbutton:
|
Part Description |
The textual description of the spare part. |
Enter the following field:
|
Quantity |
The required quantity of spare parts (Decimal). Mandatory. Ensure that the number entered in this field is positive. |
Note: If you modify the quantity for the already associated spare part, then the quantity should be greater than the quantity that is already defined, the system generates the position codes for the additional spare parts.
The system displays the following field on clicking the “Edit Spare Part List” pushbutton:
|
UOM |
The unit of measurement for the spare part. |
Enter the following fields:
|
Zone # |
The number identifying the zone to which the spare part is attached (Alphanumeric, 15). Mandatory. Help facility available. |
|
Trackable |
Use the drop-down list box and set the field to “Yes” if you wish to track the spare part details. The system provides the options “Yes” and “No”. |
|
Prefix for Position # |
The prefix to be used to generate the position code for the spare part, if the spare part is trackable (Alphanumeric, 6). Data entry in this field is mandatory if the “Trackable” field is set to “Yes”. |
Note: Ensure that at least one row is entered in the multiline.
Check the box in the “Select” column of the multiline to mark the spare part for deletion or to enter the position information.
Click the Delete icon in the tool bar above the multiline, to delete the spare parts selected in the multiline.
Click the “Edit Spare Parts List” pushbutton to update the spare part details.
Note: The system generates the position codes for the trackable spare parts entered in the multiline. The value entered in the “Prefix for Position #” field is used as the prefix for the position code. The system generates the suffix as a running serial number starting from 1 upto the number that you have entered in the “Quantity” field.
When the “Quantity” field is modified, the system accordingly regenerates the position codes with respect to the modified number.
To proceed, carry out the following
Select the “Edit Spare Part Position Information” link at the bottom of the page to enter the position details for the spare part selected in the multiline.
Defining spare parts for aircraft configuration – An overview
This page allows you to identify spare parts for the aircraft configuration. Among the various part numbers associated or fitted to the aircraft, certain parts are identified as spare parts, which are defined in “Part Administration” business component. Some of these spare parts need to be tracked for various reasons, such as their high value in terms of their price, warranty requirements and to identify parts that are fitted on a trial basis.
For trackable spare parts, the position codes are generated by the system with a prefix that is user-defined.
You can specify the number of spare parts of each type to be identified for the selected aircraft configuration. You can also specify whether the spare part needs to be tracked or not and provide a prefix for the trackable spare parts.
The system associates the spare part number to the aircraft configuration and generates the position code for the trackable spare parts. The system stores the name of the currently logged in user and the current server date.
The spare parts need to be tracked for various reasons such as their high value in terms of their price, warranty requirements and to identify parts that are fitted on a trial basis. You can specify whether the spare part needs to be tracked or not and provide a prefix for the trackable spare parts.
Set the “Trackable” drop-down list box to “Yes” to indicate that the spare part details have to be tracked.
Enter the prefix to be used to generate the position code for the spare part in the “Prefix for Position” field.
Set the “Trackable” drop-down list box to “No”, if you do not wish to track the spare part details.
